I pre-ordered a case of 2012 Five Star Baseball a couple months ago, and I finally got my case tonight and cracked it open. As the description of this break says, all I can say is "WOW!!!".

I've seen a bunch of this opened already online, and I will say, I was VERY pleased with my case, and I thought I would share with my fellow TCC'ers.

I will go over each box, though I will do the boxes in order of preference (saving best box for last), and I will do the cards from each box in my order of preference, as opposed to the order I may have pulled the cards, once again, saving the best for last.

Most, if not all cards will be going to my PC, but a couple may be available for trade and/or for sale if the offer is right. It never hurts to ask if you are interested.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy, as I share the results my break of a 3-box case of 2012 Five Star Baseball with all of you.

Time for Box #2. This was actually the third box I opened, and many of you are going to be amazed that this isn't ranked as the #1 box (some may even disagree). However, I think my selected order will become obvious. Needless to say, this was one heck of a nice box.

Without further adieu.....

Base Card: CLIFF LEE 11/80

JACOBY ELLSBURY Jumber Jersey 62/92

Now for (arguably) the worst auto of the box...and its a Hall of Famer (say Whaaaat?!?!?!)

ANDRE DAWSON Auto 89/106

What a beautiful signature Andre has.....well done.

That must have been a typo. How can Dawson be the least ranked auto? Well, you got to remember.....I'm a Dodgers fanatic. Which brings us to the next auto.....

MAURY WILLS Silver Ink Auto 83/99

Okay, I must warn you.....I am about to present auto 3 of 4 in the box.

And some of you are going to think I've lost my mind. Maybe I've have. But I have to put this one as second best....I have to.

Am I insane??????
